And a damn fine one too. That one has a history - like all of us.


"Delivered to RAAF 25/06/64. Served with 35 Sqn in Vietnam Aug 64 - Feb 72.
05/65, when landing at Hay Tien mud on windscreen blinded pilots and
aircraft was badly damaged. Wing, Undercarrage and Prop replaced and
aircraft flew out. Retired - no details. Was stored at RAAF Amberley in QLD.
The fuselage has been delivered to the QLD Aviation Museum at Coloundra
02/02, the rest of the aircraft delivered 04/02. The wings and tail off
A4-164 at RAAF Richmond were delivered 10/02 and are now fitted."

There's also a Chippie at the museum, probably in one of the backgrounds.
